TechLead (Youtuber) Talks About His Divorce

[newlife]

I watch the first to videos of this guy. He claims in the second video that he was able to retire 10 years ago and only stayed at Facebook because he didn't want to leave 500k on the table like that but then, strangely enough, he said that he can live in his car if he has no other place.

So in my opinion, either the guy is lying about his wealth or he is so repulsive and/or abusive that his wife needs to sneak away with the kid while he is not looking even if it means giving up being with a multimillionaire. I wish her a happy new beginning in Japan.

Dude no disrespect... but you must be very very young, or a complete newbie! He's the type of dude who wouldn't dare stepping on a spider! Men commit violence out of powerlessness... and when you make 500k... and your personality is a filter against stress by itself... you don't become violent... you become beta... unless you gain knowledge to bring you towards the middle which is the various forms of pills (Red, Purple, God, MGTOW)

And to side with a woman who literally ran away from a commitment... you need more experience in the field my man!

 

[newlife]

No, I am not very young and I don't live by these silly pills and no disrespect taken. I have never had any problem with meeting or keeping women. I did not find this place because I was looking for Game since I don't need it. My analysis is from listening to him talk. You are right that he probably is not the violent type but we can't know that. What would make a woman leave millions of dollars to escape a man and cut off contact with him though they have a child together? He is right, in the end, it is not just about money it is about the loss of love and admiration.

No contradiction there. He can 'retire' whenever he wants as long as he can support his required lifestyle without a full-time job. If that means living in the car, so be it. But it seems you're taking it too literally, by living in the car, he means he can go minimal and doesnt need the all the luxuries of modern life. Not inconsistent with some things we discuss here.

So in my opinion, either the guy is lying about his wealth or he is so repulsive and/or abusive that his wife needs to sneak away with the kid while he is not looking even if it means giving up being with a multimillionaire. I wish her a happy new beginning in Japan.

So you think every man who ever got divorced raped in modern times is either repulsive or abusive?

Are you a woman? Cos if you are I need to tell you women are not allowed on this forum. This is a men only group. If not a female you are clearly blue-pilled.

If your not here for the red-pill, or for game, to help and support other men, why are you here?

You can always tell how beta a guy is by the way he tries to bring down and critisize other men, while showing little evidence of true greatness himself.

TechLead is a workaholic introvert. He is inherently inward focused. He is smart and funny but his sense of humor is more cynical and deadpan. He is not your typical extroverted western clown that would be constantly entertaining his wife. Like most men he is programmed to work hard and sacrifice for family. Probably believed the happy wife, happy life mantra that most betas follow.

But modern women want more than material satisfactions. Her asking for material things was her way of acting out and wanting attention. He should've said no and took a more masculine approach to keep her guessing and incite drama to keep her tingles going. He didn't do that. He simped hard and thought that providing everything she wanted was the way to keep her happy.

I have no doubt that he has a lot of money. Tech industry pays well and he speaks with easy confidence of someone who has mastered his craft. If you're jealous because he's got more dough than you then that's on you. Nobody asked you whether you have women throwing themselves at you.

And to side with a woman...

The direction this thread is going is a good illustration of the nature of fame.
Fame invites people to argue over the worth of the celebrity in question. This thread may just as well be the Belle Delphine one in that respect. Everyone weighing in. You'll never get everyone to feel the same way about the guy because there is no single right way to live. That being said, my one pet-peeve that since what he's selling is life-advice, if he messes up it makes him look like Fire Marshall Bill.

 

[DogLover]

Now, that kid is getting indoctrinated. She's telling how she HAD to take him away for his safety.

Yep. I've dated a lot of divorced women, with kids and without. I rarely find one who doesn't claim she got divorced because she was "abused" in some way. Women are lemmings and how they are perceived in society is of critical importance to them. They hate being shunned! So, no woman will ever let herself look responsible for her divorce, or say that they were bored, that they got "frivorced". They were ALL "abuuuuuused". "I'm a victim" is the unspoken mantra of EVERY divorced woman. I'd swallow my teeth if a woman said to me "You know, just between you and me, I got bored with Harold and needed some strange cock. It is what it is".

Now here's the funny thing: "I was abused" is, of course, a pretty lie. The women lie to society in saying they were abused, and society lies to the women by saying "we believe you!". But over time, as they keep telling themselves they were abused, a funny thing happens: They start to believe it!

Shame on you if you don't "like" this post. I'm a victim, doncha know??

So I guess we can all afford to retire to our cars tomorrow.
More of this silly pill stuff. I don't know your age but I am a guy who grew up as a teen in the 80s, men were pretty much still men back then and everyone knew from a young age what it means to man up. There was no social media and there was no testing the water with a girl. You had to have the courage to confront her face to face even in the presence of her friend and you got rejected then you just had to take it with a smile like a gentleman and accept that you can't win them all. Blaming women for not scoring is for pussies.

I don't know how much money he has and I am never jealous of those who are doing better than me financially, I am not competing with then. I am only interested in what I can make for myself.

You are perhaps right about the guy, I don't know him personally nor follow his channel. It is simply the impression I get when I listen to him.

I was with someone for a long time that I met at a very young age and we divorced. We met when we were too young and both grew up to be very different in motive and personality and a break up was the healthiest thing. I have very hurt at the beginning and for a long time afterward but have no resentment. Last I heard she is married to someone else and I hope her life is happier than when she was with me.

Sounds like you didn't have kids with her, right? Marital breakups are much easier with no kids involved.

 

[newlife]

No, we did not have kids but were talking about it the last year of marriage. Some people said that I am lucky that I didn't but then if we were to have had kid them, of course, things would have been different but the fundamental differences would have probably remained the same.

Seems many guys here have had very bad experiences with women. I have had mostly good experiences so perhaps that is why I don't see them as a nemesis.

 

[void]

He talks about 80 hour weeks working at FB in his recent videos.
1 If you have so much money in the bank, why do you kill yourself with work?
2 80 hours for me is 7*11,5 hours excluding lunch break and commute. How do you play with your kid and bang your wife with that kind of schedule?

 

[Simeon_Strangelight]

< Frankly Techlead seems to me a guy who did all the right things in order to get high-paying Silicon Valley jobs. His consulting chops regarding that may be credible. If you work for years making mid-tier 6-digits, then you could retire in theory after some time.

And sure enough - plenty of men attempt to do the same, but go nowhere close because likely his raw skills in the field - as well as baseline talent were far above average, all while not being absolutely socially retarded as some IT guys are.

Still - the rest of his life-coach advice field - true financial independence and personal life - that is questionable. Becoming a well-paid employee is obviously good, but that's about it.

 

[mr_ks]

When I made the opening post, I was not expecting this to turn into a criticism of Techlead, because I was not concerned with his social skills or game in any real depth. Yeah, there are things I disagree with him about, but that would be case with anyone.

I still think the most important thing about the guy is his channel and the content and audience he gets. I bet he has alot of followers who are men, technical/nerdy, well-paid, probably even family men. So, not far from the demographic of the red-pill.

Clearly, there is massive overlap between the red-pill community and the tech community, though with the former being much smaller, it wont be too much. Still, of the 3 YT Tech guys I watch, Techlead, Josh Fluke, Stefan Mischook, all seem somewhat redpilled to me in terms of money, spending, employment etc. None of them advocate for Big Corporations, more importantly, and this is biggest sign of whether a 'professional' is on our side or not.

Personally, I look at these guys as being on our side, to a large extent, and I think the tech community, though mostly represented by Silicon Valley, Corporate Progressives Females, is really made up of people very similar in demographic and mindset to us here.

The real question is, can we benefit from this?

 

[Simeon_Strangelight]

< No - you won't profit from this. All the top-positions have to be filled by people who are down with all the globohomo agendas.

We mentioned here quite often that companies like Google hire the Damores and the Techleads here to do the real work - meanwhile they also employ and promote the SJWs, the diversity-quota weirdos to push various useless pet causes. The real work is done by mostly white and Asian semi-geniuses or geniuses like James Dalmore. Also many will just want to earn their money and shut up about it. James Damore was a public execution and they did this and likely continue doing it in order to keep all the other ones in line. The firing of Techlead is also one such disciplining measure. 400.000+ of interested men are going to learn that it helps to be silent about your views. Damore may be even successful in his lawsuit against Goolag, but that won't be of any help to the average Silicon Valley worker.

Obviously we know that those guys exist, that many of them are 4chan and 8chan shit-posters who are quite Red Pilled. But similar to Heartiste who is likely employed well in Washington - one major warning and they are gone. No one wants to end up in some hit-job doxxing article by the NYHateTimes.

The guys who have the intelligence there can be convinced by our arguments of logic and reason. Thus the Red Pill affinity is not surprising. Game is a different measure because acceptance of Game relies somewhat on your personal experiences regarding seduction, social awareness. I can tell you that virtuall all amateur seduction artist with some track-record also accepted Game instantly. Their seduction skills just becamse 50 times more effective because they found out why their Game worked and how they could improve upon it. The ones who did at least dozens or hundreds of approaches before learning Game and Red Pill - they took to it like fish to water. The other guys - very mixed bag of reactions. Techlead falls into the "other guy" category. That is why MGTOW is even a consideration to him.

Though all of that - nothing much to profit from. Corporate managers are often quite Red Pilled. i know even a globohomo-Global-Warming shilling company owner who mainly hires SJWs and liberal women in his company. But in private he is a chauvinist sexist Red Pill guy who even doubts the Global Warming crap. All he does is have the climate change cash for his mistresses while slapping his personal secretary's ass (probably fucking her as well). Still - that guy is going to push every liberal cause in public, so again - we gain nothing.

 

[Dirtyblueshirt]

Looks like he decided on early retirement. Hopefully he can sustain it. He probably just got tired of all the hits he's taken lately.

 

[Seeker79]

TechLead just uploaded a new video with more details of his marriage. Some notable details:

• His wife didn't get along with the inlaws. Moving into his parents house definitely didn't help the situation. His wife was leaving the house with his kid at the same he was going to work. She would come back later than him just to avoid dealing with the inlaws. He was too busy focused on work and his side hustle to notice the friction that this was causing. For him moving in with the parents was a logical decision to save money in the high COL Bay Area.
• He kept thinking money could save the marriage. He talked about this before but here he provides more details about how he would spend money and see it as a gift to appease his wife. He even bought an expensive condo to the tune of $4k/mo mortgage to try and bring his wife back but it didn't work out.
• She didn't care about the money or she was used to because he was always spoiling her. TechLead's parents are well off and wanted to give their inheritence to the couple but TechLead's wife categorically refused it. Which is crazy and runs counter to the forum's usual narrative of "gold diggin thots."

Overall very enjoyable update from TechLead. I like the fact that he has a logical mind even if it works against him. He has a sense of humor (however dark) about the situation, especially in light of him losing his job recently. Bottom line, having money helps a lot when all else fails in your life. So stack your cash brothers cause even if it can't buy happiness or bring back your marriage it definitely doesn't hurt.

 

[Simeon_Strangelight]

Rollo Tomassi goes through the Techlead vids step by step - not to make fun of the guy, but show guys the traps and mindset of the Blue Pill. It's quite telling.

And he is right - the marriage contract is rotten in our times - if a man had done what Techlead's wife had done, then the cops would have chased him and he would be in prison.

Techlead is not even remotely Red-Pilled - he is so much deep in Blue Pill land, that he misses everything about his condition. As Rollo also correctly put it - what the heck did Techlead do to deserve this? He was a bit stingy with cash, but the AlphaChad not spending money would be fine. He did not bang other women or beat her. This self-fault-finding and excusing women is pure Blue Pill.

There's a Polish girl I had a few dates with in Warsaw a while and who I still have on my social media (but don't talk to). She is in America right now. What's very interesting is that she keeps posting photos of her with someone very familiar. More photos appeared the other day. Upon closer inspection the guy is TechLead. No idea how she knows him because as far as I can remember she's not in the IT industry. I surmise they are dating. They're in Hawaii right now. He hasn't mentioned dating anyone new on his YouTube, but if he's dating her then good for him. She's pretty cute.

 

[AntoniusofEfa]

That guy needs a year without relationships or and significant women in his life. Cute Polish girls can be also poisonous if you let them.

Edit: She cannot be that unambitious and family centered if she moved to the US.

They're not as bad as Russians or Ukranians, but I take your point.

He's a nerd who was so blue-pill his wife left him - despite being a millionaire, so he's got some serious work he needs to do on himself.
